Plans can sound great on paper, but I don't think this one is gonna accomplish much, especially at such a low and gradual rate.
When people go to buy milk, and see that it went up 10 cents, they'll just be like 'aw fuck, lemme dig out another dime'
When people go to buy steak, they probably won't care much if it went up 50 cents, steak is already expensive.
People are already accustomed to gradual price increases, and it barely affects people's habits, or appetite in the case of foods.
